It WOULD work, but imagine how much memory it would absord if someone
had 15 directories each with 15 subdirs each witch 15 subdirs etc.
If you do it recursively there's only an entry on the stack for each subdir
you enter, instead of a whole array. Just make sure you set your stack to be
large enough for people with (absurdly) large directory structures..
